Part 5 of 5: Reorganizing

The process of getting your child (and yourself!) ready to go back to
school and begin a new year can feel like an overwhelming and stressful time of
the year. However, implementing these five tips, can help you plan your
back-to-school-a-thon, and get your new school year off to a great start! In
this Back to School blog series, we’ve discussed Collecting Information, Setting Goals, Building the Schedule, Gathering Materials, and today’s last post will cover Cleaning and Reorganizing for the new
year.

Cleaning and Reorganizing

Cleaning & Restocking

Once you’ve amassed your pile of school supplies, go through last
year’s backpacks and binders, and replace missing or broken items, and organize
them according to their order in your child’s schedule. Replenish the pens and
pencils bag. Sort outgrown clothes from new clothes to make getting ready in
the morning a quicker process. Restock the fridge and pantry with plenty of
lunch box treats and after school snacks to keep up their energy through the
week.

Reorganizing your work area

Lastly, choose an area at home for each child to designate as their
study space. This space should be relatively clutter-free, but nearby all the
materials they may need during homework time. The area should also be as far
from distraction as possible. For young children this may be a public area
where everyone works together. For older kids, if this is their rooms, be sure
to tidy up the whole room so it’s less likely to foster distraction. If music
helps your children relax and stay focused consider a selection of music to keep
on tap. These five steps should help your whole family plan for most
contingencies, and start your new year off right! However, if your child’s
course requirements seem particularly overwhelming this year -- especially if
s/he is transitioning into a milestone level like 6th or 9th grade -- your
family may consider adding an additional resource to your child’s support
system, such as those mentioned in our “Back to School Tips” post.
